6:30 p.m. A night on the town with friends, including B. Run into Kenny, whom I've slept with a few times. I hug him. Hope B. is watching.

12:00 a.m. At B.'s, we have sex. After, I say, "I'm freaking out. My feelings are involved in this." He bangs his fist against the headboard. "We need to have this conversation," he says. "But I can't do it right now. Good night."

SUNDAY
2:00 p.m. B. has a small party. He's talking to a gorgeous girl. Decide he is dating her. Pack suitcase and leave.
